~Adeline~I didn’t know what she meant by that, but I couldn’t argue with how fast things had gone wrong, through the beats of rain I spotted a building up ahead with warm golden lights glowing."Over there," I pointed."Let’s pull in until it slows down a little."Lily nodded and started the car up again, creeping forward until we pulled into the small parking lot, the sign above the door read Frostbite in big white letters, with little drawings of donuts and coffee cups along the bottom edge."Maybe this is exactly where we’re supposed to be," Lily said, turning off the engine. "We can wait out the storm and ask about work while we’re at it. What do you think?""That’s exactly what I was thinking," I told her, grabbing the small umbrella she kept in the backseat and holding it over both of us as we ran for the door. A little bell jingled above us when we stepped inside and the warm air hit my face right away, smelling like fresh bread and rich coffee and sweet cake. Only a few ot
~Adeline~"The pay is really decent too," Lily added, like she thought I was hesitating over money.I nodded and swallowed hard against the lump that had formed in my throat. She took my arm and led me toward the staff wing where Coach Roman’s office was. The school really was huge and fancy, every hallway polished and in perfect order, like nothing bad had ever happened anywhere within these walls. We waited nearly an hour before he finally came back from practice, and when he walked in he looked exactly like you’d expect a top-tier hockey coach to look…broad and solid, tall enough that he had to duck a little to get through the door, hair cut short and neat, still glistening a little with sweat. He stopped in the doorway and sniffed. Once. Twice. Then he crossed his arms over his chest and looked me up and down like he was sizing up a new player."You're the new human?” he asked, voice flat.Lily jumped in to explain who I was and why we were there."Are you sure you can handle
~Adeline~"So how did it go?" Lily asked, walking up to meet me as I slid my placement test results into my locker. The hallway was nearly empty now, most students already heading home for the day. I pulled the paper back out and held it out to her."Oh shit," she breathed, as Josie broke into a jog to join us."What's up, guys?" she asked, all bright and cheerful, that sweet lightness in her voice completely unaware of what we were looking at. My eyes dropped to her hands…she still carried the paper bag holding my ruined uniform. Lily turned the paper so Josie could see it too."Oh dear," Josie exclaimed."So what did they say?" Lily leaned in. "It's not exactly a fail, Adeline. It's just a low pass…they aren't asking you to leave.""Not a fail, but close enough… " Josie added. I looked between the two of them, a strange, warm feeling curled in my chest…the one that kept asking why these two girls had decided to stick by me when I was nothing but a stranger in this odd new town.I
~Jasper~ "Fuck, Jasper..." she gasped. I grabbed my stick and tried to step around her, but she moved, grabbing my gloved hands. My wolf snarled. I forcefully wrenched my hands free from her grasp, leveling her with the meanest glare I could. The force from my pull threw her off balance, she stumbled backward and slammed hard onto the floor. I stopped dead in my tracks. "Hey, Camila..." Caleb muttered, rushing forward to offer her a hand. "Don't touch me!" she screeched, swatting him away. Caleb threw his hands up and backed off. As Camila rose to her feet, I caught movement in my side vision, one of her followers by the door was secretly holding up her phone. I knew exactly what she was doing, but I didn't care. Birds of a feather flock together. "Jasper, you... you can't break up with me just like that! After a whole year? After using me?" she sobbed, her tears smeared her mascara into dark streaks down her cheeks. Her entire body was now shaking. "
~Jasper~ ‘Way to go, Jasper. What a fantastic relationship you have with our mate,’ Dax, my wolf, growled in my head as I made my way up to the locker room to change. Coach Roman had sent the notification earlier: ‘Compulsory practice session after school today. No excuses, no exceptions. Miss and get benched.’ He had warned us, and right now, I wasn't in the best of moods. Dax should know that, but he was too angry at me to care. I was in pain, too. I was at war with my brain, my gut, my body, and my sense of duty to my father, my Pack, and my team…all while Adeline still had no clue what she truly meant to me. ‘Fucking mark her, dude! Let's get this started. Mark her so everyone fucking knows who she belongs to…especially that bitch, Camila!’ ‘She's a bitch now, Dax?’ I countered, slightly shocked at the term my wolf was using for my girlfriend. ‘Ex-girlfriend, Jasper!’ Dax roared, the force of his presence in my mind made my jaw clench. All eyes of my teammates snappe
~Adeline~ "We had to rush through all our preparation just to swing by and pick you up, and you already got into a fight with Camila?" Josie asked, hurrying to catch up as I kept walking. I stopped short, and she bumped right into my back, then stepped around to face me with cheeks flushed and a flustered look in her eyes. "I was on my own, like I have been trying to be the past week," I said, my lips trembling as I fought back the tears gathering hot behind my eyes. "But she could not bear to miss a single chance to bully me. She offered me a ride. I politely declined, only for her to gun her car through the deepest puddle, just to splash muck all over me. Look at me, Josie. I have my placement test this morning. I left early to study a bit before anyone else gets here. Look at me now!" I gestured down at my ruined uniform. "Come on, Adeline, don't break down right here," she said, glancing quickly around the school grounds. I shook my head. "I should not have come here
